Practice Nurses
We have two part-time practice nurses who are able to provide a range of nursing services such as dressings, ear syringes, immunisations, injections and cervical smears.
Each nurse has special areas of expertise covering:
- Diabetic care
- Travel vaccination advice
- Childhood immunisation
- Asthma care
- IHD care
- COPD care
The practice nurses are able to advise on common illnesses, injuries, diet, lifestyle changes and stopping smoking. Female patients may like to discuss contraception and menopausal problems. However, nurses are unable to issue medication without further discussion with the doctor. If they feel unable to help they will direct you to someone who can.
